OSTI ID:4786357
Project Gnome is a multiple-objective experiment conducted by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission as a part of the Plowshare Program to develop peaceful uses for nucleai explosives. The experiment consisted of the explosion of a nuclear device at a depth of about 1,200 feet below the surface in a thick salt deposit about 25 miles southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico. The Gnome site is at the approximate center of sec. 34, T. 23 S., R. 30 E., Eddy County, N. Mex. The U. S. Geological Survey made scientific studies and investigations related to Project Gnome largely with respect to public safety aspects. Basic geologic and geophysical information is presented that is needed to define the pre- and post- shot geologic and physical properties of the salt and other rocks affected by the explosion, and geologic and hydrologic information on the pre- and post-shot hydrologic conditions at the Gnome site and surrounding region.
